Mithai Indian Cafe

This place always pleases, the barfi with hints of cardamom are fantastic, and laddu are also amazing with Zaffran & some with Turmeric and cardamom as well.When I need a break from Baclava, Borma, Namoura, Basmah, Zandiyib, Trilece, Kunafeh, I frequent this place or order from delivery for Mithai as equally & more sweet! A friend recently visited me from Hyderabad bringing incredible sweets from the streets of his city, and I must say that this place holds up well, both this Mithai and friends sweets send me to states of euphoria! Many blessings for success, I will always venture out in Cary to bring back your sweets!

Did not like that there where no options for single pieces and looked really not fresh

Beverages: I ordered the malasa chai and it was truly the worst that I've ever had. Very much watered down, maybe a hint of chai present? I didn't even finish half my cup because it was truly just hot water with a dab of steamed milk. The cashier noticed that my cup was mostly full as I was leaving and I mentioned that I was not a fan. I still paid, but I won't be ordering this item from here again.Food: I was a discouraged by the chai, so I didn't try anything else. However, what I saw others order both smelled and looked great. All of the baked goods are currently pre-packaged (I assume baked there but packed for health hygiene reasons).Environment: Small and cute shop. Extremely friendly cashier (too much for me, but others interacting with him seemed to enjoy it). A few tables inside. I met up with a friend for a chat, but I could see other meeting here to work on a laptop for a couple hours.Overall, hopeful for the food but never again with the "masala chai".

Learned a lot about the taste of sweets from India. Very much a cultural exploration.

[Coronavirus review]Open for takeout during corona, and ordering online was easy enough. The shopping center they're in was all sorts of Indian, and this is a dessert-focused place, though they offer vegetarian savory dishes as well. It was not the easiest parking lot to enter (though this restaurant is in a more spacious section and not the narrow one that runs parallel to the main road). They do offer curbside pickup.I came craving sweets but I wanted to try the thali (a sampler platter) as well to see if it would be worth returning to get a full serving of their chickpeas. Definitely yes; the small sample of channa was sweet and savory and one of the more flavorful renditions of the dish I can recall having. The other small vegetarian street foods, particularly the veg chop, were tasty. Indian sweets are an interesting niche. I eat a ton of Indian food, but not so much desserts; the American palate just isn't used to this stuff. The vegan sampler I got was a series of gram flour-based balls and slices, an oddly hearty dessert. It was interesting but I can't say I'm giving up ice cream. Overall a worthwhile experience.

Craig is a fun person to talk to and describes all the amazing treats in vivid detail. It was hard choosing what to get but the vegan assortment had so much cardamom and the flavor danced on my tongue with bliss. This location is perfect because you can eat dinner at Himalayan Nepali Cuisine (also 5/5) then get treats from Mithai Indian Cafe to end the perfect night with a friend or date or by yourself!

Here to balance out the trolls reviews. It's either uptight Indians who think they are best or racist libtards crying over cultural appropriation who leave these unfair reviews.

Have enjoyed the food at this restaurant on occasion but will never return after the owner cornered my wife and me in an unsolicited and very uncomfortable conversation in which he went ranted about conversative politics, including some bizarre historical theories (including some ideas I recognized as Steve Bannon's take on William Strauss's book "The Fourth Turning" - though the owner badly misrepresented those ideas), his negative thoughts about "transgenders" and "liberals," and his repeated claims that his restaurant was not financially successful because of "stagflation" caused by Joe Biden that has the world on the brink of complete economic collapse. Actually, to call this a "conversation" isn't really accurate. "Monologue" is more like it. Or maybe "unsolicited diatribe." His many hostile responses to negative Yelp reviews cement my view that this person is not cut out for any job that requires daily interactions with the public. Would not advise visiting here unless you want to hear an arrogant and ill-informed person spew resentful politics and conspiracy theories while you eat.

I have been to this store many times over last couple of years. Host is very welcoming. The sweets they carry are the most authentic bengali sweets I have seen in North Carolina (may be they are the only store who makes bengali sweets). If you love sweets that are less sweet sandesh are the perfect option, if you would like slightly more sweet they do have chum-chum etc. We have tried their samosa couple of times. I liked it, taste is very unique in a good way.Message to the owner: Please add some new sweets to the menu as I crave to have these being away from home for so long :). Here are some sweets I would love to buy: Langcha, Chhenar Jilipi, Joynogor-er Moa, Kheer Kadam, Kacha Golla

Authentic Bengali sweets. Excellent vegetable chops! A most enjoyable experience to visit the place. Highly recommended.
